Description:
National Charity for homeless people.

Aims:
To help vulnerable and marginalised people get through the crisis of homelessness, fulfil their potential and transform their lives.

Activities:

  • Crisis is calling on the Government to put rough sleeping to bed for good - that means not just providing a roof, but also helping homeless people rebuild independent lives.
  • Crisis Skylight offers a variety of activities for homeless people and the general public. The first Skylight is based at Crisis head office in east London and the second is in Newcastle.
  • Opens seven centres between 23 and 30 December offering homeless or vulnerably housed people companionship, access to essential services, learning opportunities and a programme of entertainment.
  • The welcoming cafe at 64 Commercial Street offers tasty food, refreshing drinks, great art, an inspiring space and a route into work for homeless people.
  • Has a new model for sustainable communities. Urban Village provides innovative solutions to homelessness while creating high quality, affordable homes for low-income essential workers and formerly homeless adults.
  • Provides grants of up to £2,000 to help homeless people move towards a work-based, vocational goal. The money can be used to fund training, or buy equipment needed to find work or set up a business.
  • The project provides free courses and study support, in many subjects, for homeless people in small friendly classes. All courses lead to an accredited qualification.
  • Helps homeless and vulnerably housed people find homes by providing private landlords with a written guarantee in place of a cash deposit.
